Watching this clip, I can not think of anyone more clear, more articulate, and more prepared to be the opposition leader of the current uprising movement in Iran than Prince Reza Pahlavi!
RP's strategy can best be summed up for his Pro "Na Pahlavi" FB fans as:
"Short term gains for long term losses"
RP is no De Gaulle let alone Churchill ... Not even close to Reza Shah the Great ...
Why you may ask ? Because he lacks the necessary "madness" required to lead events rather than be led by the events.
Recommended Reading for "Na Pahlavists" ! ...
NYT: JANET MASLIN: What Befits a Leader in Hard Times? An Intimate Knowledge of Insanity
RP is reactive not proactive. He had no role in the past demonstrations nor does he have any role now. Last time people demonstrated in pasargad on his bhalf and wished him happy birth day, he called them fascists so much for leadership!
He is a quintessential talker and not much else and as every on knows, talk is cheap.
Exactly MRX Jan Exactly MRX Jan
This is what I predict
That even if the demos turn into an open challenge to the regime with vast cries of Javid Shah across the country RP will seize on that opportunity to call for a referendum but he will still make sure genuine monarchist have no say in the outcome which he will strive will be directed towards a secular Republic and he will campaign either as candidate or on the sidelines on the fact that his grandfather wanted a secular republic like in Turkey
and his blind followers ( The Na Pahlavis) will continue to praise him and drink every word he utters as "god given" once he either accepts the responsibilities of a president or if he retires as a citizen in the republic of his making but he will never support the idea of a constitutional monarchy ... and even if he does he will blame the hardline monarchists of undermining him and so forth ... knowing how little knowledgaeble iranians are about their own history in this era of Smartphones just like his own daughters ... he is capitalizing on the ignorance of the masses and youth to impose his own revisionist vision of history and the pahlavi dynasty as "modernizers" and who ultimately did not want a monarchy but a "republic" and "democracy".
Genuine monarchist know exactly what he is aiming at and that is why we are not siding with him except in his opposition to the MKO ...
other than that we all know that in the eventual fall of the IRI ... once the party is over the real divsions will appear.
He wants his chance to rewrite his father and grandfather's vision to his own liking and not based on the historical truth.
Why do you think his "Trumpist" Ally is cherry picking the slogans by ignoring the monarchist ones ?
